"We have a strong partnership with Avelo Airlines and are excited for their addition of this flight between Eugene and Palm Springs,” said Cathryn Stephens, the airport's director.
The new route will use Boeing Next-Generation 737 planes. In April 2021, Avelo chose Eugene as one of its 12 airports to serve as inaugural cities for the new startup budget airline with flights to Hollywood Burbank Airport.
